Summary:
Drake Jeffries is an athletic, energetic swingman that is playing well in his role at Wyoming this season. He is a sharpshooter that shoots threes at a high percentage, and he recently made 6 threes and scored 22 points in a February 23rd loss to Colorado State. He’s a rangy defender that can make numerous plays on the ball to get stops for his team. He doesn’t tend to shoot the ball enough, and he can be too passive on offense at times, but he may be an underrated prospect that could project well into a 3 and D type of role in the NBA.
